My 2001 WJ recently died, and I'm now the proud owner of a 2010 WK. I've noticed that the WK has a crappy light for the cargo area that is mounted in the liftgate instead of the dome light I was used to having in my XJ, ZJ, and WJ.
The owner's manual for my 2010 WK still describes the cargo light as if it were a dome light. The manual states,
This is how the dome cargo light operated on my previous Jeep models. However, this doesn't seem to work with the light in the liftgate. Is there another cargo light switch somewhere at the back of the WK that I'm overlooking, or is this just a misprint in the manual?
Sometimes I need to have the liftgate open for extended periods of time during the day, and I don't want the interior lights to remain on. What's the best way to turn them off so they don't drain the battery? Will they just turn off automatically as part of a battery-saving feature, and is this the best (or only) way to turn off the interior lights while keeping the liftgate open?
The owner's manual for my 2010 WK still describes the cargo light as if it were a dome light. The manual states,
"If all doors are closed and only the liftgate is open, pushing on the cargo light lens surface will turn off all interior lights. Push on the lens surface a second time to restore the interior lights to normal operation."
